The Journal of Remus Lupin

59

I am now in my room. Full moon was yesterday. I was called, along with eight other lycanthropes. Indigo, Cass, Julian, Ralph, Louis, Bill, Charles, and Layla. All of them were seventh years except for Indigo and Ralph. There was a supply of wolfsbane potions, and I didn't need to take anything really. Ralph was a bit scared at first. I stuck with him. We were all in a nice room I think we were in one of the rooms under the castle. There were a few chairs and blankets.

I spent the night in a room full of sleeping werewolves. Ralph kind of curled up next to me. I sat on one of the chairs, seeing as I don't transform or anything.

It felt a bit...well....it wasn't anything really....it felt normal.

 Well...I couldn't sleep. I could never really sleep. Full moons, nights before the full moon, a few nights after, sleep is impossible. Uncle Harry says it's why i'm so skinny. I had time to think, and time to try and cram all those facts about Goblin rebellions into my head. Who needs to know about that stuff? I can't! Everyone, EVEN ZEKE had prior knowledge about all the other subjects. I'm just dumb.

But....Hogwarts isn't all bad. I see stuff...stuff that people don't really notice, questions that no one really bothers to ask. Like, how do the Hogwarts walls get painted? I have never heard of magical paint. Or....Why are there even four houses in the first place? Divisions are bad really. Why is there only ever pumpkin juice in the great hall? What if I want apple juice, or orange juice with my toast?

Okay...i'm rambling again. I guess it's because I can't sleep. Bones still ache a bit. Not as much as last night though. I'll go and read a few more books before sleeping. With my luck, at least sleepless nights can be spent learning.....although i'm not sure i'll remember any of it in the morning.
